Description The next image in my asexuality-themed artwork, we have a psuedo-propaganda poster. Imagine that hanging in an asexual bar, encouraging the patrons to buy their black rings and spread the asexual ring meme.
*drifts off*
Yes. Basically, I made this because I was so darned happy I had a new black ring. The hand model is me, it's all made by me, etc. Copyright moi.
Apart from that, not much. I'm kind of proud of the aesthetic, but not proud of that damn hand, which sucks.

Cool design, tho! Me gusta ^__^

Probably been pointed out already, but that appears to be the left hand, while we aces wear it on the right hand. Otherwise it's perfect.

I have two one that's plain black and one with a red heart (for my heteroromantic side) both hand-made (by me) out of used book covers (it doesn't take much talent with a needle and you can make a ton of them (and other stuff) for a few bucks, very cost-effective. Use a black cover, don't use sharpies, they'll rub off everywhere and you'll look diseased XD from my experience)

I'll the ace stuff i've been doing today is sure making me cheery, if my emotes don't alert anyone to that XD

Awesome poster Love the poparty sort of comicpropaganda type style

I've been searching all over to find a black ring. Found a Pepe Jeans Tshirt with an Ace of Spades on it, but no black ring as of yet. Must go to the local crystal shop, I remember some haematite ones in there a while back...

Aw, glad you like it! Yeah, I spent ages looking and found my glass/jet ring in a Greek tourist shop, of all places. I've heard that hematite isn't the best, but I think it's the luck of the draw, really. Whatever you can find that you love! :3

I thought the Black Lanterns are undead monsters opposed to the very concept of life itself.

So Asexuals are cake-eating life-hating zombies?

I think that for a more powerful revolution-like fist you have to place the thumb in front of the fingers. A few on the hand could help too.
Nice work anyway.

Ah, rubber, eh? Sounds better than the glass/jet one I have. I think only its sheer asexiness keeps it from smashing, the stuff I put it through

black ring? what does that have to do with asexuality?

Hollabaloo In reply to SanguineJustice [2010-06-24 17:20:08 +0000 UTC]

It's a symbol, like the various LGBT symbols.
--
"Quote from aven wiki;
'Many asexuals wear a black ring on the middle finger of their right hand. The material and exact design of the ring are not important as long as it is mostly black. Some wearers use hematite rings because they are inexpensive and fairly easy to find. '

It's just another symbol like the triangle, cake or ace...but fashionable in public."

what's lgbt? I can tell it's a symbol, but I've never seen or heard of it before.

LGBT is basically an acronym for the entire queer community. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans. There's other letters, too, but that's the most common acronym.
